From the author of TikTok sensation My Year of Rest and Relaxation. NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2022 BY Guardian, Harper's Bazaar, The Times, New Statesman, Good Housekeeping & Daily Mail. In a village in a medieval fiefdom buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself the unlikely pivot in a power struggle that puts all manner of faith to a savage test, in a spellbinding novel that represents Ottessa Moshfegh's most exciting leap yet Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, never knew his mother; his father told him she died in childbirth.One of life's few consolations for Marek is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby, as she did for many of the village's children. Ina's gifts extend beyond childcare: she possesses a unique ability to communicate with the natural world. Her gift often brings her the transmission of sacred knowledge on levels far beyond those available to other villagers, however religious they might be.For some people, Ina's home in the woods outside the village is a place to fear and to avoid, a godless place. Among their number is Father Barnabas, the town priest and lackey for the depraved lord and governor, Villiam, whose hilltop manor contains a secret embarrassment of riches. The people's desperate need to believe that there are powers that be who have their best interests at heart is put to a cruel test by Villiam and the priest, especially in this year of record drought and famine.But when fate brings Marek into violent proximity to the lord's family, new and occult forces upset the old order. By year's end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, the natural world and the spirit world will prove to be very thin indeed.

In un futuro molto simile al nostro presente lItalia e governata da un non-partito nato in Internet che ha vinto le elezioni promettendo una democrazia diretta e onesta grazie al web. Leonardo e Camilla sono giovani e laureati, e in quellItalia vogliono costruirsi una vita. Hanno votato entrambi per il movimento e nei loro progetti ce anche lacquisto di una casa. Le condizioni proibitive dei mutui sembrano essere un ostacolo fino a quando Leonardo riesce a ottenere un tasso agevolato. È unoperazione legale, che Leonardo e Camilla condividono sul forum del movimento. Ben presto fraintendimenti e rigidita ideologiche trasformano la vicenda in uno scandalo. Fra invidie e travisamenti Camilla e Leonardo faranno i conti con la mentalita dellalveare: una rete in cui tutti indagano, accusano, giudicano, e quasi nessuno ascolta prima di condannare. Vincenzo Latronico ci regala un pamphlet narrativo che mette il dito nelle contraddizioni della tanto vagheggiata, quanto divisiva alla prova dei fatti, democrazia diretta sul web.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best First Book Shortlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow.

Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer.

Im a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, Im Fae. But of course, theres a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that Im the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically thats true, as Im the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didnt put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school theyve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon, and dont even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on peoples emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if Im going to beat down my classmates - which is actively encouraged, by the way. My biggest problem is the droolworthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All Ive got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldnt I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?

The fulfilled renown of Moby-Dick and of As I Lay Dying is augmented by Blood Meridian, since Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner," writes esteemed literary scholar Harold Bloom in his Introduction to the Modern Library edition. "I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable."Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians and sell those scalps. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf.
